This is a synth gadget inspired by the Darius arcade cabinet and its distinctive three-screen design. Synth sounds have been recorded from arcade games such as Darius and The Ninja Warriors. Through collaboration with Taito, we are reproducing FM tone generator sounds (mostly), successfully reproducing sounds of these legendary arcade games.

 

Revival of the iconic TAITO arcade sounds

Samples of the FM sound have been taken from 6 titles including Darius, Ninja Warriors, Night striker, and the arcade game sound has been revived as best as possible. The Detune and Delay parameters are available by layering multiple FM channels. The detune and delay that is so vital to creating Taito sound can be used easily.

Filters, LFO’s, and effectors have been installed to make it possible to edit according to your tastes. Not only will you be able to regenerate nostalgic sounds, you will also be able to create your own personal sound.

Designs with motif from arcade machines

The design for Ebina is based on the iconic 3 screen Darius arcade machines. The design of the sound parameter and edit screen have also been inspired by the Darius game screen.
